Frequently Asked Questions

1

Is therapy for me?

In my experience, just about anyone can benefit from therapy. While we explore your initial concerns and develop tools for managing those situation we will also be developing insight about you, your life, and your relationships that can be applicable no matter what comes your way.

Still on the fence? Check out this TED Talk by Dr. Emily Anhalt: Why We Should All Try Therapy.

What is therapy with you like?

My therapeutic style is collaborative, active, and strength-based. My work is informed by research, advanced certifications, and ongoing learning.  I like to work with people who are eager to make changes in their lives, relationships, or careers. 

 

Our time together is collaborative. We’ll explore how you move through your world, relationships, and challenges curiously and with compassion.. Typically we will spend the first few weeks getting to know each other. I will ask a lot of questions and take a lot of notes. Other times, a crisis is at the forefront and we will focus on developing tools and getting you to a grounded place.

Therapy is a confidential space, so I hope that you will speak freely about your concerns. Humor, honesty, big feelings, and real talk are all welcome here.... whatever it takes to help you understand events and patterns so that you can approach your situation in a new way or with a new sense of ease.

I am not sure about online therapy. Do you provide in-person sessions?

My practice is 100% online.  The COVID-19 Pandemic hurdled us all into a world of virtual interaction and the therapy landscape quickly adapted. I have found online sessions to be just as effective as in-person therapy while allowing for a flexibility, convenience, and level of privacy not offered by in-person therapy.  And becuase I work online I am able to offer services in California, Virginia, Florida, Arizona, and Washington; options for scheduling are more plentiful given that we don't have to dedicate time to travel (or parking!); and clients often report feeling more comfortable because they are in their own environment surrounded by the things that help them feel safe and grounded.

During our consultation, we’ll talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, answer any questions you might have, and walk through how the process works. It’s a chance to get to know each other and see if it feels like a good fit.

I look forward to connecting with you!
